Same comments apply as the original game - a lazy Spectrum port and unsatisfying combat.

Very similar to the original, just much bigger and emptier. The need to find more stuff with each skill level is a nice touch that Goldeneye on the N64 would resurrect. A big game that would take a lot of patience to beat multiple times.

Not much different from the first outing. There was some gameplay to be had but I found it palled rather quickly. The Speccy-esque GFX and next to no sound did it no favours either. Even the Hubbard track was at best, mediocre. :|

Great cover art, but the title screen is terrible [apart from the cool bit about the real map], the character looks like shes been drawn by a teenager! Lol

Anyway, there was a remake of the prequel in 95, check it out! ;)

Nice effect with the creepy moon in the background. Can even see it trough the windows inside the building. It's haunting her/the player! Damned effect!

Very tough game. Sadly the Encore tape version doesn't seem to have Rob Hubbard's tune in it.

Some improvements, and some steps back. The fighting is a little more interesting, but the environments are very empty and the map may be bigger but it's less interesting. And what happened to turrets? Before I saw the box I always thought you were a black lady with an afro. I prefer to think of it that way.

I loved this game in the 80's for the trusty C-64. :fear:

Fun Fact:

The map in the title pic is the exact game map. :clyde:

Nice little game.

With a large map and different scenarios to tackle, Saboteur 2 overcomes its Spectrumesque graphics and minimal sound by providing an enduring arcade-adventure challenge. If the beat 'em up element had been better handled, and if a fitting soundtrack had been provided, it could have been one of the greats, but even as it is it's no slouch. :thumbsup:

Well... Making mistakes is human ... But persisting in mistakes is somewhat hellish ...

Overall: double CRAP :yuck: :yuck:

Atmosphere was scarier than in the first part. But never undersand the sense of that game so I feel boring after a short time.

Great game! Better than the first, although that one was good too.
Oggy 2004-05-06
Look, it's Facundo again :)) Err... Sab2 and it's enormeous map! I still have it in one of the local computer magazines (SK). But I don't like the mission scenarios. The flying part was the most interesting. And of course, all those tunnels are very eerie...

This is not as magic as the first part, but still it is a great game. The graphics are the same smooth ones from the first part. The sound is also OK. Game-play is a little more advanced but still not as fun.

I have orginal map for this game...

More of the same, although seems to lack the charm of the original for me.
Alex Aslanidis 2002-01-10
Good arcade adventure with beat-em-up overtones. The graphics are awful but the game is good fun. Nothing spectaqular though, and perhaps you should download First Samurai before you try this one...
